Don’t forget my voice, raspy and deep
Don’t forget my eyes, brown and soulful
Don’t forget my touch, gentle and persistent
Don’t forget my scent, the essence of me, no soap or perfume
Don’t forget my tears, the taste of them, not the reason
Don’t forget my smile, and the sound of my laughter
Don’t forget my words, written and spoken
Don’t forget my love, deep and true
Don’t forget me…
Let’s pull the sheets up over our heads…
Let me lick the sweat off your skin…
Let your hands memorize my nooks and folds and crannies…
Let’s make love hard and fast and slow and sensual…
Let us forget that there is a world outside…
… how about that?
Now this… this was subtle erotica 😉
Someone said that this was subtle erotica… made me smile because it has not been written as such, but it could be read as such… and I never tire to say that reading is a subjective experience. xx
I want to take shelter in your arms
in their safety and your calm.
I want to hide from reality
and still see with clarity.
Don’t let us end like this
we had more than a myth.
I can feel you in my dreams
and I don’t know what it means.
Spare one thought for your favourite sinner
while your memories of me are growing thinner.
I never want you to forget me
and I don’t want you to set me free.
I needed you to be my forever
and now, you will be my never ever…
And if I burn don’t try to put out the fire. Let the flames be seen. See the smoke and the embers kindled by the gentle lover’s breath. Don’t stop the heat. Let me burn until I’m reduced to fine dust. My ashes will fly high and free. Spreading like a thin invisible blanket, covering everyone who once loved me.
Oh my heart it is breaking
Shards ready for the taking.
And I can’t keep faking
Maybe it was too much to take in.
Loneliness befalls me
It’s plain for everyone to see.
I stopped floating in this muddy sea
Begging you, please don’t set me free.
But you turn around and go
Everything inside is sinking low.
And I want to hear that it isn’t so
But you keep walking away, slow.
I refuse to believe in this!
We lived in ignorant bliss
And nothing was amiss.
This can’t be our final kiss.
The sorrowful truth lies heavy on my heart
I thought we were so smart,
That our love was a work of art.
Maybe we were doomed right from the start?
Wherever you may go, I wish you many things
But remember no one will offer my sins.
The truth is, we were under each other’s skins
Deeper than anyone before or ever since.
You touched me
Your voice
Your words
Your soul.
I want to touch you too.
You saw me
My needs
My wants
My soul.
I want to see you too.
Everything you do to me,
I want to give it back.
The way you make me feel;
Beautiful colours filling huge gaps.
Always standing out for you,
Reassuring me
That I was never one of a few.
That’s more important than anything else will ever be.
every time I see you, my heart bleeds.
the bleeding can only be stopped with your touch.
the ache inside will only vanish if you suck it out of my pores.
I miss you so much that I fear if I ever stop missing you, I will disintegrate.
and I don’t want to be addicted to your scent.
and I don’t want to miss you in my dreams.
and I don’t want to be yours. That’s a lie. Because I do.
but you made me feel. you freed me. you saved me. and now you caged me again.
even when you are near, you are far away.
and my heart keeps missing. you.
and I will never be if I am without you.
I can still feel your last embrace on my skin.
I can still hear your last words whispered in my ear.
My biggest fear is that you’ll silently vanish from my mind and leave a gap in my heart that can never be filled.
Broken promises.
J’ai fait une promesse
And I broke it
Ton coeur fragile
I couldn’t keep it together.
J’ai fait une promesse
But I never stood a chance
Ton dernier sourire
Forever in my soul.
J’ai fait une promesse
I wasn’t there
Tes yeux pâles
Haunting my dreams.
J’ai fait une promesse
Bitter tears of goodbye
Ton âme disparue
Forever alone.

Lost in the scary reality of this dream.
You are there but you don’t recognise me.
You look at me but you don’t see me. And I call your name and wave my arms.
To no avail.
And I realise; in your world, I am only a dream.
I wake up with a start.
Drenched in sweat, the sheets are in a bunch around my ankles.
I turn to you for comfort.
But you are not here.
You never were.
And I realise; in my world, you are only a dream.
I wish our dreams could merge.
You would see me.
I would find comfort.
Reality would be less empty.
Dreams would be less deceiving.
It could be a place we call home.

I submit to you.
And I surrender my lust to you.
Claim me as yours,
Put a bracelet around my wrist.
Not a collar,
For I might choke.
I will never kneel for you,
I am too free-spirited, I admit.
And yet…
And yet!
I submit to you.
And surrender my lust to you.
Mark my soul,
Never my skin.
Give me your orders
And I offer my control.
You take care of my needs
And I’ll take care of you.
Mask up.
Smile on.
Hide those feelings.
Don’t feed the doubts.
Mask up.
Smile on.
Another ordinary day.
Repleted with unshed tears.
Mask up.
Smile on.
Make believe.
They don’t see past your wall.
Mask up.
Smile on.
Even if it is draining.
Hiding is for the best.
Mask up.
Smile on.
And when you’re alone
You’ll be allowed to fall apart.
Mask up.
Smile on.
